Darren Reed:
: For those of us who don't run only linux, we may have 3 partitions already : setup for other operating systems, including DOS/Windows, with one of those : as an extended partition. Now the real problem is that you can't boot into : an extended partition,
Why not?
: not to mention that I've yet to see an fdisk program : that will deal with two extended partitions.
Never used sfdisk?
: Now that I think of it, Linux : is the only PC Unix I use that requires one dos partition per ext2fs : partition. Solaris/FreeBSD/NetBSD all let you create /, /usr, /var all in : a single DOS partition.
So does Linux.
